HANGER FOR SCREEN AND STORM SASHES.

Specification of Letters Patent. 7 Patentedlscept. 25, 1%)15.

Application filed July 19, 1915. Serial No. 40,691.

are used to attach what are known in the art as full frame screensandfull frame storm sashes to an ordinary window frame, in such manneras to permit them to be swung outward for the purpose of cleaning theglass in the window frame, while at the same time said frames are heldclosely to the window 7 frame when closed to place.

T he objects of this invention are, tolobtain a hanger of the kind namedwhich can be installed by a person on the inside of the window frame;which will-hold the'upper end of the screen or storm sash closely to thewindow frame when said sashes are closed; which will permit the same tobe swung outward at the lower end thereof, when desired; and which willhold said sash at the upper end thereof in such manner that it cannot beaccidentally separated from said window frame; while at the same time aseparation of said parts can be easily effected when desired.

I have illustrated a hanger embodying my invention properly installed ona window frame, with so much of said frame as is required to properlyillustrate said installation, in the drawing accompanying and for-min ga part hereof, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of the upper endof a window frame and sash (having a screen therein) attached to saidwindow frame by a device embodying this invention; the top part of thewindow sash and glass therein being broken away to exposethe device andscreen to view. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line 22 of Fig. 1,viewed'in the direction indicatedby the arrows. a like section on saidline 2-2 of Fig. 1, and viewed in the same direction, with the screensash which is attached to the window sash by the device embodying thisinvention swung outward on said device. And Fig. 4 is a verticalsection, (on anenlarged scale) of the top rail of a window frame, thetop rail of a screen sash, and of a device em bodying this inventionjoiningsaid rails to- Fig. 8 is gether, with said screen sash closed, asin Figs. 1 and 2.

A reference letter applied to designate a given .part indicates saidpart wherever the same appears.

A is a window frame, a being the outside head bead thereof. a is theoutside bead; a the parting bead, and a the inside bead of the frame a.B is the top rail of the upper sash in frame A, and b the glass in saidsash. D is a screensash, (Z being the top rail thereof and (Z one of thestiles thereof. C is netting in sash D, forming the screen.

E is a base plate, forming an element in adevice embodying thisinvention, and F is a depending finger, extending downward and outwardfrom base plate E, as is well illustrated in Fig. 4. I make saiddepending finger integral with said base plate. G is the lower end ofdepending finger F and H is a pin which is inserted in the said lowerend G. Where base plate E and depending finger F are made of sheetmetal, as is illustrated in the drawing, I turn or roll said lower end Gto obtain the aperture in which pin H is inserted. To permit the readyinsertion of the pin, and its removal. when. desired, while obviatingall liability of said pin to become accidentally separated from saidfinger I use an ordinary cotter pin.

I is a base plate located on the sash, and J is a table on base plate I.K is an aperture in table J.

L, L, are ordinary wood screws, by means of which the base plate E isattached to the bead a, and base plate I is attached to the rail rZ.

WVhen sash D is closed to beads a, (H, as is illustrated in Figs. 2, and4:, the table J is near to base plate E, and end k of aperture K is incontact with the finger F, thereby drawing said sash closely to saidbeads. 1

and finger On removing'pin H from end G of said finger F separation ofbase plate I and table J from base plate E and depending fingerF iseasily efiiected. f

To install the device the base plate I may first be secured to sash D;finger F inserted in aperture K, and said sash put in place against theindow frame. Thereupon the base plate/E can be secured to top bead a, bymeans of screws L, so as to hold said sash D closely to the beads a, aerred the base plate E may first be secured to bead a; sash Dput inplace against the window. frame, marks be made for the placing of baseplate I on said sash, and said base plate I then secured to'said sash.

I claim: 7 I
